Biography
University of Cape Town Graduate School of Business
Badri Zolfaghari lectures in the field of strategy and international business at the UCT GSB and is a researcher in the field of organisational behaviour, with a focus on multi-level trust development across cultures. She is particularly interested in conceptualising and measuring culture, in cultural diversity & integration, and the strategic management of a culturally diverse workforce.
She received her Bachelor's degree in software engineering in Tehran, continued her postgraduate education in management, with a focus on organisational behaviour & innovation and technology management at Durham University Business School, UK. Intrigued by the concept of 'trust', she then commenced on a PhD journey in order to examine a multidimensional conceptualisation of culture and its impact on interpersonal trust development.
Whilst at Durham University Business School, she held the position of a teaching fellow on the postgraduate level, in strategic management & organisational behaviour. She then moved to Munich, Germany where she continued her research activities in the form of conference presentations, workshops and publications with Jacobs University, Bremen.
